Livgardist Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 My log over what kind of physical effort I put in every day. The goal is to do SOMETHING every day. Big or small doesn't matter, but something. Secondary goal is to vary my workout, never get stuck in a routine. Try new things, mix it up as much as I can. 2-11-19 100 pushups with my feet propped up on the bed. 15 regular pushups. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 2-12-19 100 pushups with feet propped up on bed. 20 regular pushups. Edit: Getting a cheap pedometer bracelet thing off Amazon today too. I walk a lot at my work. I estimate on a slow day I take 5000 steps. But this way I'll know for sure how many steps I take every day. I'll add that to my daily log too once I get my hands on the thing. Bad: Two big glasses o' wine, one fuckton of tacos.

Livgardist Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Today, I'm planning to do my first 8fit workout. This one is the scheduled one today. It looks too easy, so I might do more sets......but I know from experience too that these workouts are harder than they look. We'll see. Anywho, that's what I'll be doing after work today!

Livgardist Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 2-13-19 Change of plans. My back started hurting at work today, so I wasn't able to do a full workout routine. Instead I just did.....you got it. Pushups. 100 with elevated feet, 25 regular ones. I also ran around like a madman at work today, so bonus points for that and lifting heavy shit at work.

Livgardist Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Today, my back is hurting worse. It's a muscle pain on my left lower side. Should be gone in a few days, but it makes it hard to work out. Naturally, I say heck that! Pushups is one thing I can do, so pushups is what I'll do until my back feels better. Every damn day.

Livgardist Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Plan today was pushups, but I'm actually going to see how I fare with the pull up bar, with my sore back. This weekend I'm also going to go pick up a barbell for curls and bench pressing. Fun times! 1 Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 2-14-19 Four sets of 10 pullups. 25 regular pushups, 10 "diamond hand formation" pushups. I know you're not supposed to do biceps and triceps on the same day, but I decided to throw science and logic out the window and do it my way when I decided to do this, for better or for worse.

Livgardist Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Took yeaterday off on a whim to let my back rest. Today I'm planning to either test it out with a jog or pushups or pull ups, or all three. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 2/16/19 The road so far; jogging, roughly 3.5 miles, or 5.6 km. Not good enough. The goal is 10 km in 50 minutes or less, army standard. Not sure if I'll do pushupsor pullups too today. First I catch my breath, then I decide! Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 2-17-19 Was short on time today so, pushups. Feet on bed, 100, no extras. Also ordered barbell for future workouts. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 2/18/19 Legs on bed style pushups; 125 consecutive ones. New goal is 200, which I used to be able to do. Normal pushups; 25 Crunches; 25 (Not good enough, obviously). Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Today, I'm planning a longer ab workout....but also to push my pushups past 125. We'll see how that goes after work. Also planning to walk at work during lunch break. Tomorrow, if my back allows for it, I will do my first 8fit exercise! Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Also, motivation to get back into Army shape. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 2/19/19 Today's workout: 140 (!!!) pushups with elevated feet. 30 (eeh) crunches 25 regular pushups. I'm super excited to have managed to reach 140 on the elevated foot pushups. I obviously have a lot of room for improvement on the crunches. Hopefully tomorrow will be an 8fit workout though, so that'll be something different, though it all depends on how my back is feeling after that muscle I pulled or whatever at work last Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Apparently the barbell arrived today, so change of plans. I'm doing bicep curls and crunches today. Possibly also the 8fit exercise afterwards. We shall see. Quote Link to comment

I want one soon as well. 1 Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thank you, sir! The barbell really opens up so many more avenues of workouts. I got a good deal on a decent one off Amazon too, $93 for 100 pounds and the bar. Big fat win. Apparently the barbell arrived today, so change of plans, too. I might have overdone it, and also done the bad deed of biceps and triceps on the same day, but oh well. Today's workout went like this; 25 curls 50 bench press 20 curls 30 knee bends 40 crunches 50 benchpress 25 curls 30 knee bends 25 crunches 50 benchpress 25 curls Barbell exercises were done with 40 pounds on them. 1 Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Not sure what I'll do tonight. I have a feeling though, that I'm going to end up trying to double yesterday's barbell curls as my biceps are not even slightly sore today. Maybe that and an 8fit exercise.... Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 2/21/19 I did a combo today of the barbell and a freakin' exhausting 8fit exercise. 25 curl 40 crunch 8fit exercises 25 curls 15 curls This was the 8fit exercise. I did three rounds of this one before picking back up on the barbell. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Today, I'm probably doing another 8Fit exercise, with some more barbell curls thrown in for good measure. I'm going to start with pushups however, see how far I can get today on that one since it's been a few days since my last pushup session. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 2/22/19 130 push ups with elevated feet. Three sets of this 8fit workout 25 curls with 40 pound barbell. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Taken two days off because of exhaustion and not feeling well. Tomorrow I'll get back to it! Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 2/25/19 Propped my feetup on the bed and squeezed out 150 pushups. I'mma call that one a win today. Quote Link to comment
Livgardist Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 2/26/19 My coworker and gym enthusiast gave me a ton of exercises in kind of a workout daily schedule. It dispelled any notion I had that I was in good shape. XD TodY's workout, which I didn't reach the goal of, was as follows, divided up into haphazard sets; 45 pushups, regular, on the floor 75 inch worms 50+50 left hand and right hand archer pushups 100 dumbbell curls w 10 pound dumbbells 100 skullcrushers w 10 pound dumbbells 75+75 split squats, left and right leg 5+5 front squats with 40 pound barbell A pathetic 15 seconds of planche lean Goal was to max pushups, planche lean, and do a hundred reps of everything else plus walking lunges, which I didn't even try. Next time I'll do better at it. 1 Quote Link to comment
